Brighton and Rex Babies, Born June 21 - 22


Hulali -- (Hoo-lah`-lee) "sparkle, glitter"

Hulali was the firstborn pup in the litter... we'll
probably be referring to her as our "hula girl" since
we were off enjoying a vacation in Hawaii when she
and her siblings made their appearance.

Makana -- (Mah-kah`-nah) "gift"

This little guy will undoubtedly be nicknamed "Mac"
Leilani -- "noble maiden"

Leilani is the Hawaiian version of the name "Elsie"...
Elsie Rhodes is the patron saint -- or would that be
matron saint? -- for these babies
Laki -- (Lah`-kee) "lucky"

Laki was the only pup in this litter that didn't have rear
dewclaws to remove...
he was definitely feeling lucky yesterday!
(His sibs have all recovered nicely :-)
Kimo -- (Kee`-mo) Hawaiian for "James"

This litter is also indebted to Elsie's husband Jim...
who graciously agreed to watch over Brighton
and -- later -- her babies while I was out of town
Nani -- (Nah`-nee) "Beautiful"

Nani was the last born pup in the litter...
born after a l-o-n-g night.
